Personally, I liked when Viktor got his head chopped in half near the end of Underworld. But i read in the newspaper that there was some big survey about "BesT Death", and Physcos shower scene won.

I just love in TCM how you just dont see it coming, then he turns around, leatherface is right there, nails him in the head with the mallet, drags him in, and slams that metal door. The door is just so intensely slammed, and when you hear it and see it, you know the rest of the movie is going to only get more brutal

My favorite death scene is in Final Destination 2, when the barbed wire splits Rory into three pieces and they just slide off each other. Its pretty sick.

i like 3
annie,bob, and lynda in halloween (stabbed in car while michael sits in back seat) (michal hides in closet then pins bob to the wall) (michael wears bedsheet and chokes lynda with phone cord)
also in part 4 when he rips off earl's face
the annie one still makes me jump sometimes

Well some like the newer Ghost Ship, and some don't but that scene in the ballroom.......... I rewound it over and over.... so cool, loved how they did that, and the atmosphere! It will always stick out in my mind.
Also liked a lot of the death scenes in the Omen, like when the Journalist gets sliced in half by the glass....... I must have a demented thing about that....... sick person.....slap slap.
:rolleyes:

Amen. The slamming of the door gives me goosebumbs just thinking about it. It just happens so fast and is so fucking BRUTAL. Hell yah, best death scene ever goes to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, nineteen hundred and seventy four, of course.

You're not demented, that was fucking awesome. Clean slice, and the head does a couple of little spins and flips, doesn't it?

Oh, I also love the brutality of the kills in the original Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead when they just rip living people to pieces. Best one is towards the end of 'Day' when that guys still living and screaming and they rip off his head (slowly) and then continue to tear open his stomach to get at all his organs. Yummy.

Hmm this is a hard topic cause theres SO many damn death scenes out there. My favorites are as follows.
The glass decapitation of the Journalist in The Omen
The arrow thru Kevin Bacon's characters neck in Friday the 13th
The stabbing of Bob from Halloween
The triple decapitation of the paintballers from F13 VI: Jason Lives
The thumb thru the forehead of the paramedic in Halloween 4
The death of Rhoades in Day of the Dead
The death of Stephen in Dawn of the Dead in the elevator
Those are just off the top of my head theres tons more.

It's possible, but I think it was just a really fucking cool way to kill him, while at the same time cutting the guns out of his jacket so's he could get to them to fight Father

Jason stabbin a woman with a red hot fire-poker rod in one of the Friday the 13th movies...guess it was part 3...
Even when tryin his best...the leader of the Special Ops gettin cut to pieces by the lasers protectin the Red Queen in "Resident Evil"...

I mentioned this in another thread on the subject but:
Evry death in The Omen. Everyone seems to overlook that one. They were all classic :)
And who can forget the chestburster in Alien?
Or Hudson's last stand in Aliens?
What about Saddam Hussein's death in Bigger, longer and Uncut?

Everything in Theatre of Blood, and both Dr. Phibes movies.Amazing kills in those movies! Especially in Dr. Phibes when the unicorn impales the guy...so unexpected!
Saw had some damn fine deaths too....gotta love a guy running through a barb wire maze!
Dog Soldiers's were good aswell.

That's a good one. I also like the girl hit by the bus in the first one. Great timing on that one.
But my all time favorite is the first death in Suspiria, not my favorite movie, but my favorite death. It was kind of unexpected (to me anyway) and it was filmed beautifully.
Second would be the beheading in The Omen.

the most disturbing thing about that one is that the pitch of his scream changes as his vocal cords were getting stretched ...

A great one, the guy cleaning the air tunnel in Alien 3 gets spat on by the alien, rols into the fan blade and eplodes :)
Chunks of him everywhere.

Easily the most disturbing thing I ever saw was seeing the movie ALIENS in theatres back in the day. When Bishop the android is speared by the alien and starts violently puking up that whitish fluid. Wow. Even more disgusting than had it been blood I think. And then as scary as that already was, the queen alien grabs him with both hands and rips him into to pieces sending the torso one way and the legs another. Again more white fluid spewing, and some weird looking intestines leaking out of him.
By the way: Aleins may be the best horror/sci-fi film of all time in my book.

not my favourite ever but the burning at the start of sleepaway camp is pretty cool. The camera just lingers on him for ages you almost feel sorry for the paedophiliac bastard( almost)
Final Destination 1 and 2 have some very good death scenes... My favorites are:
1. The airbag scene when she was fine and suddenly the airbag goes off and the puts the spike in her head.
2. Car accident scene with the big log going through the winshield and everyone else dieing around as well.... That was great and that stuff happens all the time in car accidents so that makes it even more scarier.
Also, you gotta put the Omen in there with the "hanging" scene. Thats one of the creepiest eerie scenes around.
